Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA Geography CESU Arcata Field Office opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00145) is a Bureau of Land Management cooperative agreement designed to build practical, workforce-ready experience in cultural resource management while strengthening how historic property information is organized and used for on-the-ground decisions. Framed under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program, the award supports a partnership approach that blends research, technical assistance, and education. In plain terms, the project is meant to put developing scientists and early-career practitioners into real, current resource management work, especially the kinds of cultural resource responsibilities BLM carries across its lands.
The core purpose of the project is the creation of a cultural resources database that is directly linked to an interagency-accessible GIS. That combined database and mapping system is intended to host and manage essential information needed to protect and properly manage significant historic properties under BLM stewardship. Rather than focusing on a single excavation or a narrow survey, the emphasis is on building durable data infrastructure: cleaning up records, organizing them, making them spatially useful, and ensuring they can be preserved and responsibly shared over time. The work described includes data entry and database development, GIS mapping and spatial data integration, field checking and verification of older archival information, review and validation of cultural resource reports and records, controlled dissemination of collected information (meaning data sharing with appropriate safeguards), and long-term archiving so the information remains available and usable well into the future.
Administratively, this is a discretionary natural resources funding opportunity with one anticipated award. The total estimated funding is $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and a floor of $500, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed. The program is identified under CFDA 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management). Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of entities may apply, but the notice also indicates the award is issued under the CESU framework, which typically involves collaboration among partner institutions and may include additional eligibility or partnership expectations referenced in the full announcement.
The announcement was posted and created on June 22, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 22, 2010, and an archive date of July 31, 2010. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement was directed to contact Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, at 530-252-5338 or lparker@blm.gov. The listing also points applicants to Grants.gov for the complete opportunity details and submission requirements.
